DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rates of cigarette use among young adults are the highest for any age group, including a surprisingly high rate of smoking among college students. Colleges and universities enroll over 14 million young adults and therefore are an ideal setting to encourage smoking cessation early in life. Unfortunately, there are currently no evidence-based cessation programs designed for college populations. The internet is a promising channel for delivering such interventions based upon high rates of internet use by college students. Our objective in this proposal is to perform a three-group randomized controlled trial to determine the efficacy of providing tailored cessation messages and peer support via the internet to college smokers. College smokers on 3 campuses (University of Minnesota, University of Michigan, University of Texas El Paso) who report any smoking in the prior 30-days will be identified and recruited via internet health screening (n=1680) and randomized to receive access to an online college life magazine that includes either: Tx1) untailored smoking cessation content,) individually tailored smoking cessation content, or ) individually tailored smoking cessation content plus peer email support. Our specific aims are to determine if providing tailored cessation content is superior to untailored content (i.e. Tx2 > Tx1) and if providing peer email support is beneficial as an addition to tailored content (i.e. Tx3 > Tx2) in terms of promoting 6-month prolonged abstinence from tobacco use. Our own preliminary work supports this approach. In the RealU study we found that providing individually tailored smoking cessation messages and peer email support using an online magazine format increased 30-day abstinence rates compared to control. Collaboration with the University of Michigan's Center for Health Communications Research directed by Dr. Victor Strecher, an internationally recognized expert in the field of message tailoring, will further enhance the development of the intervention proposed here. At the completion of this project, it is our expectation that we will have identified an effective intervention package ready for dissemination via the internet to interested colleges and universities.

描述（由申请人提供）：年龄段的年轻人的香烟使用率最高，包括在大学生中吸烟的速度高。学院和大学招收了超过1400万年轻人，因此是鼓励生命早期戒烟的理想场所。不幸的是，目前没有为大学人群设计的基于证据的戒烟计划。互联网是一个有前途的渠道，可根据大学生的高互联网使用率提供此类干预措施。我们在该建议中的目标是执行三组随机对照试验，以确定通过互联网向大学吸烟者提供量身定制的戒烟消息和同伴支持的功效。在3个校园的大学吸烟者（明尼苏达大学，密歇根大学，德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索大学）报告在上一三天的吸烟中，将通过互联网健康筛查（n = 1680）确定和招募任何吸烟加上同行电子邮件支持。我们的具体目的是确定提供量身定制的戒烟内容是否优于未尾声的内容（即TX2> TX1），并且是否提供同行电子邮件支持是有益的，作为量身定制的内容（即TX3> TX2）的补充（即TX3> TX2），以促进6个月的延长持续的戒烟。我们自己的初步工作支持这种方法。在Realu研究中，我们发现，与对照相比，使用在线杂志格式提供单独量身定制的戒烟消息和同行电子邮件支持。与密歇根大学健康通信研究中心的合作，由国际消息裁缝领域的国际认可的专家维克多·史特雷切（Victor Strecher）博士的合作将进一步增强此处提出的干预措施的发展。该项目完成后，我们期望我们将确定一个有效的干预套件，准备通过互联网传播给感兴趣的大学和大学。
